Tom Dozier,
BCBA Biography

Thomas H. Dozier is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Tom
has researched misophonia and worked to develop treatments since
2012, and he has shown that Misophonia includes an acquired
physical reflex to the trigger sounds which causes extreme emotions
of rage and disgust (a conditioned emotional response).

He developed the Neural Repatterning Technique and the Misophonia
Trigger Tamer app to deliver this treatment. Tom is the
director of the Misophonia Treatment Institute, which promotes
misophonia research, treatment, and awareness. He received a
Master of Science in Behavior Analysis and the Family from
California State University, Stanislaus.

His primary career focus was parenting and parenting skills
(see 3LParenting.com, guaranteedpt.com,
orLDSParentCoach.org,
but Tom became interested in misophonia because he worked with
parents of children with misophonia. He also realized that
his adult daughter and one grandchild had misophonia.
